Col. Curtin b.-s always been a favorite of tbo j people of Pennsylvania. lit has always sup- j ported a Tariff for the Protection of our manu facturers, mechanic*, farmers and laboring men, he is in favor of l;e Homestead law, for the purpose of securing to tho poor mm govern ment land when he settles upon it. instead of j its being given to l.ind-j bbers: and he i- in la- , vor of keeping slavery out of oil Territory that w.s n.ade free by the Missouri Compromise. Col. Curtin is rtlc of the best stump-speak- : crs in the State, and will thoroughly canvass it, ; and will be elected, beyon i a doubt, by from 30.U00 to 50,000 unjoin. I vet our brethren iu Bedford County organize at once, let them : go to work in earnest, and do tocit share of work in this great contest, which will foreshad- t cw the still greater one iu November, i enn sylvanta wiil go right in Octohor, she wiil be nuht in November, and "as Pennsylvania goes >*> goes the Union."

The Chairman decided that the amendment was not agreed to. Division called for, aui the veis nod i ays. Ti.c question recurring, shall Mr. J rdin be the temporary chairman, the Chairman, (Mr. Kline) decided ;a the affirmative, when that ceutleaiau was called to he chair. The yeas and nnys were called by several voices. A Voice. The house is packed with parties who LaV'j 1,0 business here, and the only prop er way to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion is to call the yeas and my?. The chairman, pro tempore, Mr. Jordan.— The Cuairuun < t the Central Committee has decided in my favor, and he'ievinc so 1 have taken this position, if tbi* course is accepta ble, I -ball proceed to the discharge of usy du ties; if not, ] do not wish to f >rce myseif ttp ou the mooting. [lndescribable hubbub and confusion pre vailed. Cheers mingled with hisses. Several gentlemen attempted to make themselves heard.] .Mr. Frailey. The Chairman of the State Central Committee has done that which is ex ceedingly improper. [ Applause and a dcatea uig r :■* ] It i< a wrocg inflicted upon tbi> b.'dy to which I for one, cannot subscribe; and for which, perhaps, this Convention will Lave to suffer. A i',s' n end , yeas and nays were cal ls i for, an d the ei.eioe of a temporary chair aiin devolves -upon the Convention, and not upon the selection of the Chairman of the Ooo ttai Committee.

The business of this Conven tion should be performed in decency, and in order to accomplish this, the hall should be cleared of all pcrsou9 but delegates to the Conventiou. Let us sit down and see each other's faces, and net decently, and with a propriety becoming the responsible duties which lie before us. A Voiee. Let there be a call of the roll. A Voice. 1 agree with the gentleman who has just spoken, (Mr. Maun.) that we should proceed in decency and order, hut, sir, the yeas and nays and a division has beeu called, on a qutstioD wbiclr to uiy mind, has uot beeu i roperlv decided. Io order, therefore, to re stoie order, let us go back to where we made the mistake, and correct it. (Outbursts of applause and increased con tusion.J Mr. Coffey. Mr. Chairman, lam unwilling to believe that there has been any unfairness on the part of the Chairman of the State Cen tral Committee, but i move a reconsideration of the vote by which you were said io be elected. Mr. Martin. I move that all persous uot delegates retire, so that parties elected to rep resent the counties may have u fair hearing The Chair. In order to carry out what up pears to be the sense of this Convention, 1 hope that those who arc not delegates will re tire without the bar of the House, with the exception of tho reporters. I would much prefer to be reiievod from this cutbarassment. A Voice. A motioD was made to reconsid er, which i hope will be regarded as a test vote. Another voice. 1 move that the list of del egates be called over. Still another, i move that a Secretary be appointed, and that Mr. Uauch, Clerk of the House, call tbe yeas and nays- The Cuair. Does the Convention agree that Mr. Kiueh shall call tho yeas and nays' Agreed to, by acclamation, loud and pro longed. Mr. Martin. 1 now iusist that gvery persm uot u delegate to this Convention, retire uutil the action of the delegates can be fail iy, clearly, intelligent y and honestly had. A V oice, i second the motion. Hou. Levi Kline then resume!! the Chair, and requested all but Delegates to the Con vention to retire. Mr. K then said the ques tion now betore the House is the one uu which ibe yeas and nays have beeu calied. A Voice. My motion was that a reconsid eration be tskeu by a division of the l'ousc, and not by the and nays. Mr. Coffey. Preliminary to that, however, it will be proper that there be a call of the roll. Mr. Lcwrey. \\ ho are the Delegates? There are disputed scats here, and i shmid like to know how we are to determine by the yeas and hays. Mr. Boutber. We a.-e precisely in the same category as wheu the House of Representa tives meets. It is uudcr the directum of the Cierk until they proceed to the election of a Bj>cakir. A V ice.

OE the above delegates sixty three voted in E.ivor of a reconsideration, uau seventy tec against it. ihe convention iberctora refused to recon sider the vote bad on temporary chairman, and Mr. Jordan was declared duly elected tcuipo rary chairman. Mr. Kuue. v\ hen the roe was taken by ■ the ayes aud noes: it sounieu to mo that a much larger proportion voted ye, tbau has just been tndidated by the vote polled. lion. r'laucis Jordan then resumed the Chair amidst deafening applause, wheu he said: I assure you 1 feel relieved from the embar rassment with which 1 wis surrounded when I first took the chair, i cannot but Congratu late t'io convention at this relief from what was apparently su iuex ricable difficulty. It has been accomplished creditably md iu such away 1 trust as will satisfy every man tart we we are disposed to do thai which U right, and "hat we are actuated by nothing but proper motives.

Mr. Coffey. lam aware of that, hut i be lieve it to be a fairer method of selecting the committee. After considerable debate the amendment of Mr. Coffey was negatived, and the original motion prevailed. Mr. Haldcman moved that a committee of thirty three be appointed by the chair for tho purpose of selecting permanent officers of tho convention. Mr. Lnyd Jones moved to strike out "by tbe chair," and insert "that the committee be selected from the several Senatorial districts by the members of the convention."

Alas . a pensive sadness steals o'er the spir it when we behold the garland of friendship j blasted by the untimely approach of death, as j in Lis iron grasp, he severs the tender lift is, and bears away its loveliest blossom. 'i ho subject of this notice was a lovel , ami able and intelligent child. Being blest with a piuus exampie aud instruction, wo need cot wonder that she early learned-to look upon <he pomp and vanities of the world as unworthy her attention. Though surrounded by th'- temptations and alurements of the world she hoedei them not, prefetiag that pleasure and - happiness that proceeds from a performance cf duty towards God. it was with agooiz.-d hearts that her parent? traced the rapid progress of disease in their idolized child ; she was to them as the light of their eyes. IKr p>resaoce brought sunshine to their souls, and ihey looked forward IO many • happy yers in her society. But God bis willed otherwise, and though their hearts ars bowed and oppressed with grief", yet should they remember "whom the Lord 'loveth he chastenetb." To her death Lad no terror, and though the grave was dark and gloomy, yet all beyond was bright and joyous. Bhe is gone. Yet in imagination we sec tLat fair unsullied cheek, and the clear and dieamiag eye whose brightness and winning glances, .-pake of a soul of love, and beauty. She is laid to rest iu the Ireshn ss of early feeling, while her young heart throbbed wi;i ; brightest hopes. She is gone like a morning cloud and the early dew. Her bosom is cold" which once with love was warm. She has passed away while her thoughts were as pure as the upper sky. und as sweet as an opening blossom. Sue is laid to rest in the voiceless tomb, and the cold damp dew cf the grave is glistening ou Lor youthful brow. The clod of the v.. I y has tbrowD hack its last harsh echo as it fell upon the lid of her cell. She Is in } deep- dii-aiulesa sleep. Her spirit too pure and lovely i r earth, novr With folded pinions is safely b ged in the paiace of angels and God. ; And a new harp is rirung. and a new soc is | Gl* 1 o 'he breezes that ii"at o'er tire carder, at Heaven.'
